The Official "Making America Great Again" Thread

[Skjellyfetti]

I'll forgive your total lack of understanding of libertarian thought, but asset forfeiture is anathema to any real libertarian. Goes hand in glove with a screwed-up drug enforcement policy. Sessions is wack.

I should have put *sarcasm* or something.

Whatever happened to GOOD attorneys general? The last 3 -- Sessions, Lynch, and Holder -- were spectacularly bad. Looking back at a list of AGs since I was a kid, only Mike Mukasey and Ed Levi make the grade in my book. A few mediocrities, but most flat-out sucked.

Also Alberto Gonzalez and Ashcroft and Reno...

The position seems to attract assholes.

The problem is that, instead of hiring really good lawyers, they appoint political hacks with a law degree. I can't think of a cabinet position that has been more undistinguished in practice. It may be the most important position we have, including SOS.

More brilliant political analysis from Trump.

I'll let Perfesser GannonFan, a/k/a "Mr. Know-It-All," critique the historical analysis.

But, you have to admire how Drumpf pirouetted from the Russkies winning 5 wars in cold weather to "the economy is doing great."

None of his first 100 day promises after 6 months.

Well...he also said " I will work with Congress..." so that was a non-starter from the beginning.

Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, resigned on Friday morning, telling President Trump he vehemently disagreed with the appointment of the New York financier Anthony Scaramucci as communications director.

Mr. Trump offered Mr. Scaramucci the job at 10 a.m. The president requested that Mr. Spicer stay on, but Mr. Spicer told Mr. Trump that he believed the appointment was a major mistake, according to a person with direct knowledge of the exchange.

I wonder if Conks will raise bloody hell about this like they did under Obama

The Trump administration has brought a Qaeda suspect to the United States to face trial in federal court, backing off its hard-line position that terrorism suspects should be sent to the naval prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, rather than to civilian courtrooms.

The suspect, Ali Charaf Damache, was transferred from Spain and appeared on Friday in federal court in Philadelphia, making him the first foreigner brought to the United States to face terrorism charges under President Trump. The authorities believe Mr. Damache was a Qaeda recruiter. He was charged with helping plot to kill a Swedish cartoonist who depicted the Prophet Muhammad in cartoons.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has repeatedly said that terrorism suspects should be held and prosecuted at Guantánamo Bay. Mr. Sessions said that terrorists did not deserve the same legal rights as common criminals and that such trials were too dangerous to hold on American soil. With Mr. Damache’s transfer, Mr. Sessions has adopted a strategy that he vehemently opposed when it was carried out under President Barack Obama.

The Justice Department did not immediately respond to questions about whether Mr. Sessions had changed his views on civilian trials or why Mr. Damache was being brought to federal court.

We need to get Jelly laid or something.

Does Sessions not realize we are AT WAR with Islamic terrorism?

Did Sessions read him his Miranda rights?!?

Why is Sessions giving this terrorist a platform to spew his propaganda in a US courtroom rather than locking him up in Gitmo?!!?

MAGA

Agreed. Sessions is an idiot.

Sessions is a YUGE proponent of asset forfeiture

For that reason alone I wrote him off as an acceptable AG long ago - anyone who expects legal logic from someone who can mentally reconcile forfeiture with our Constitution is not thinking logically (that goes for SCOTUS as well)

all else is noise

Somebody making money off of Trump other than a Russian mobster. I love it.

[Gil Dobie]

America is still great, just some the the cream that rose to the top has gotten old, moldy and rotten in the case of Trump and Clinton.

I can't stand the sight of the little weasel but love the telling Trump to fck off part.

He's now thrown everybody not immediate family under the bus.

Except Vladimir Putin.

Well...he also said " I will work with Congress..." so that was a non-starter from the beginning.

Well, I mean, the Republicans DO have majorities in both houses of Congress. One would think a Republican President would be able to work with that situation.

Three quarters of the States have conk controlled legislatures too and still he can't get anything bigger than a round of golf accomplished.
